Apr -15 -99 01:29P Simply Bookkeeping, Inc. 651 407 -9523 P.02 <br /> To Mari Nelson <br /> From Mary Jo Helmbrecht <br /> 04/05/99 <br /> Thank you for asking for my comments Mari. It was always our goal to <br /> increase our commercial and industrial tax base. We are limited because <br /> of the small amount of land we have for this growth. I think it would <br /> be a big mistake to rezone any property from commercial or industrial to <br /> residential. It is very common to have townhomes as a buffer to <br /> commercial and industrial. I'm sure it will not be a popular decision <br /> if the room is full of the residents from the townhomes, but it is in <br /> the best interest of the city. <br /> We have been working hard on revitalizing the downtown area. I think a <br /> bank in this area would help that cause. It would also be within <br /> walking distance of the senior housing. This will also be a room full <br /> of residents from Eagle Pass. <br /> Just remember Mari, you can not please everyone all the time. Good <br /> Luck! <br />
